1980 Volkswagen Ventura Coupe

When it comes to Volkswagen customs, there are plenty of options to choose from. You can get everything from a Baja Bug to a Bugatti, Ferraris to Mercedes-Benz 540Ks, and GT40, 917K and even the Monkeymobile. But most of them look somewhat out of proportion, like a real example of the car stuck in funhouse mirrors. But sometimes, when they weren’t intent on making a copy of another car, these customs can actually look okay – and the Ventura Coupe is a good example of that. Sure, there are styling cues from Bitters, Toyotas and some Italian metal, but the Ventura has its own unique style and doesn’t scream “kit car” from its first impression. Looking lovely in red, this Brazilian-built Volkswagen is a rare sight on these shores:

In the advertisement, the seller mentions the SP2, and it’s fitting to mention it – in many ways, the Ventura looks like an updated version of the SP2. Personally, I think the SP2 looks a little cleaner but the Ventura certainly carries more 1980s styling. The exterior, overall, looks quite nice and very unique; however, inside things aren’t quite as good. The budget seat covers look like Pep Boy specials and the plug in fan hints that this probably isn’t a car you want to drive on a warm day. Despite that, it’s a car that would likely be very welcome at Volkswagen shows, should be quite cheap to run and can be had for less money than most classic Beetles or Ghias. If you march to the beat of a different drummer, this is probably a great option for you!
